Additional Wallplate TX and Decor Wallplate TX Functionality
The following items are on the left edge of the Wallplate TX and on the front of the Decor Wallplate TX.
Reset Button
The Reset button resets the unit’s CPU (acts like a power cycle soft reboot).
Program Port
This port (USB mini-B connector) supports DGX Configuration Software for programming a customer VGA EDID.
ID Pushbutton
The ID Pushbutton places the unit in ID Mode for setting the NetLinx ID (device only) and provides additional functionality, such as
placing the unit in Static IP Mode or DHCP Mode (see page 56).
Wallplate TX and Decor Wallplate TX – Indicator LEDs
The Wallplate TX and Decor Wallplate TX receive power from a switcher through the DXLink (RJ-45) connection to a DXLink Input
Board in the switcher. They can also receive power via either PDXL-2 (FG1090-170) or PS-POE-AT-TC (FG423-84).
IMPORTANT:
We recommend determining the power budget to maintain power redundancy for the system (see page 31).
TIP:
If the Wallplate TX is installed in a location where it is difficult to check the LEDs on the bottom edge, slide a white piece of paper
or a small mirror under the edge to view LED status.
* The LEDs for Digital Video, Analog Video, and Audio each indicate the configured state of the connectors, not necessarily the
presence of signals through the Wallplate TX or Decor Wallplate TX.
IMPORTANT:
If the indicator LEDs for the Wallplate TX or Decor Wallplate TX do not respond with a normal display as stated in the
table above, check all of the connections and the suggestions in the “Troubleshooting” chapter (see page 83) before contacting
technical support (see page 86).
